In the event of a whole school/partial closure, we hope that our best endeavours for Remote Learning for pupils with additional needs, will ensure that support and activities will be tailored to individual needs to prevent children falling further behind.
Our aim is that, each pupil on the SEN register will be allocated a Teaching Assistant (TA) link to contact the pupil and their parents or carers on a weekly basis to check in and to offer support. For pupils with an Education, Health Care Plan, they will be contacted daily either by their Class teacher or their assigned additional adult. The purpose of this contact will be to check how they are doing emotionally, offer additional help with any tasks set, as well as tailored interventions if needed.
We will also continue to offer individual and group interventions for pupils on the SEN register, which will be led by either the class teacher of teaching assistants. These interventions will be designed and planned by the class teacher, based on a comprehensive gap analysis from pupil's baseline and follow up assessments.
Talk to your child about COVID-19
It’s important as a parent to talk to your child about what’s going on in the world and to allow them to ask questions. Keep up-to-date with government advice on how to protect yourself and others, and ensure you communicate the important messages to your child. Explain things simply, but be direct and honest.
Share feelings and worries
Encouraging your child to talk to you or another family member about how they are feeling can help them to manage stress and feel less anxious. Listening to them and acknowledging how they’re feeling is key.
